from whair?”  Why does he want to know?
    “Are you always this nosy?”
    “I’m jist making small talk love and I find ye intriguing.” 
    “Intriguing?  Why?  Are you some kind of serial killer or rapist?”  He is really making me nervous now with all his questions.  Brody belts out a deep thunderous laugh, and for some unknown reason it has my insides heating up more and pooling happening between my thighs, not that I haven’t already been wet since he first spoke to me. 
    “What the hell are you laughing at?” 
    “Ye.”  “He looks over at me with a huge ass grin on his face.  He looks back to the road and then back to me, "Noo love, I’m noo a serial killer or rapist.  I’m just-“
    “How much further is the garage?”  I interrupt.  I don’t want to hear his laughing at me.  I don’t want to hear his excuses.  I have heard enough of them my whole life and I just don’t have to time for this shit
    “Noo far.  Ten minutes away.”  He says all serious now.  Good now I can just get the tire and get back to get it on and get out of here. 
    “Look, Annie, I’m sorry if I huv upset ye.  I jist wanted tae git tae ken ye some.  And I wasn’t laughing at ye, It’s  jist ye were so fucking cute.”
    “I didn’t even mention that you were laugh-“
    “Ye didn’t huv tae Annie I could see it in yer eyes, in yer body language.”
    My body language, which would mean he would have been looking at me.  Why would he be looking at me?  I’m a nobody, a fat nobody.  He probably has dozens of girls, skinny, pretty model type girls falling all over him and he could have his pick of any of them.  Why would he even glance at me?  We pulled into a driveway. A few hundred feet down at the end was a small “mom and pop” gas station, convenient store and a one car garage attached to it.
    “This is it.” Brody said climbing out of his seat and ran around the front to get my door.
    Out from the door next to the garage door walks a tall man, not as tall as Brody and not as build, but they looked alike. I assume it’s his brother.  He has the same shaped face but shaved.  Same eye color only a couple shades lighter.  Light brown hair, shoulder length.  He has arm band tattoos around his biceps on each arm.  He’s wearing a dirty white tank top and dirty carhart jeans.
    “Hey Kev, is Da in?”  Brody asks him
    “Aye, he’s in the shoap wi mum.”  Kev, I’m guessing is short for Kevin says and then glances at me.
    “Annie, this is ma wee brother Kevin.”   “Kev, this is Annie.  She was stranded on the side of the road jist afore the drive tae the hoose.” Brody starts explaining.
    “I wasn’t stranded; I got a flat tire, which I would have been able to change if I had a spare.”
    “As I was saying-“Brody continues, “She needs a new tire, dae ye huv one she canni git?” The guys go to the back of the jeep and grab the tire and bring it around to the garage door.  Kevin goes inside and opens it up while Brody rolls it into the garage to the tire mount station.
    “Aye, we huv one left. I’ll pit it on the rim fur ye noow.” Says Kevin
    “Cheers bro.  We’ll be in the shoap.”  Brody says grabbing for my hand and pulling me around to the store front and through the sliding door.  He’s holding my hand.  I stumble into the store because I can’t stop looking at my hand in his hand.  This gorgeous Adonis is holding my hand and he seems to, like it?  We make our way up to the counter where his parents are standing and talking.  They look up when they see Brody approaching and smile.  Brody is smiling back.  So this is what it looks like having loving parents.  Brody hugs his parents and exchange a few words to each other while I stand back out of the way.  I’m looking at one of the tabloids when I hear my name.  I look up and they are all looking at me.  Oh shit, I missed something, what?  Brody just smiles and walks over to me and puts his arm
